BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona forward Neymar can be as good as he wants to be and will follow Lionel Messi in defining an era in football, his Barca and Brazil team mate Dani Alves predicted on Monday.

Neymar has reached new heights at Barca this season, his third with the Spanish and European champions, and was named on Monday along with Messi and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo on the three-player shortlist for the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or award.
